"All right listen up!" It was Vince. He was giving some kind of speech to the rest of us who had just arrived, with the exception of a few who were getting first aid etc.

I was stood with Thomas, he had his shoulder leaned against the wall and was listening to Vince from a distance. "I know you've all been though hell. I wish I could say our troubles are over- but were not though this yet."

I know Thomas is upset that he hadn't saved Minho. "It's not your fault Thomas, you know that, right?" "Mhm." He wasn't listening properly, he was somewhere far, far away. I could tell from the dead-pan look in his eyes as he stared off into the distance.

I patted his shoulder in attempt to give him some comfort before leaving him alone with his thoughts, whatever they may be. I walked to go find Aris and the girls. I knew they'd be somewhere getting Aris fixed up.

Aris winced as Sonya attempted to clean his wounds with some kind of wet cloth. "Here, drink this." Harriet handed him some kind of metal cup, filled with god knows what, before Aris finally spoke up.

"Took you guys long enough to rescue us," Aris joked. Thomas scoffed under his breath "Yeah, its good to see you too, bud. So what happened?" I was sat on a crate I found, a little further away than everyone else. I was sat behind them, watching everyone rather than joining in.

"I fought back. Tried to anyway." "You're lucky you found us at all, they had us on the move a lot, it felt like something big was happening." Sonya was right, they moved us around more times than I could count, but when they put us on that train something felt different.

"Any idea where they were headed?" Newt hadn't spoke up until now, so it was nice to hear his voice. "All I know is- they kept talking about a city." He was right, I had heard one of the guards saying we were going to some place called 'the last city'.

"He's right, they called it the last city, I overheard the guards talking about it." Everyone turned to look at me, as if hoping I would go on to give them some amazing news, but that was all I had to say.

"I didn't think there were any cities left." It was Harriet, she sounded confused. Her confusion was soon made worse when Brenda appeared behind her. "That's because there aren't. Not still standing anyway."

Everyone's attention was drawn back to Thomas as he started to ask his own questions. "Okay. Wait, what about Minho? Why wasn't he on the train?" Poor Thomas. He would only blame himself more once he found out, he didn't deserve that.

Sonya and Aris exchanged glances of pity for the boy before Aris began. "I'm sorry, Thomas.. He was." We all watched as Thomas heart silently broke into a million pieces, Newt dropping his head and sighing.

I knew it was wrong for me to find amusement at such a sad moment, but I found it hilarious how even Newts sigh seemed to be laced with that same thick British accent that he spoke with. Nobody noticed me laughing under my breath though, thankfully.

I tried to imagine each of their reactions if they'd seen me laugh at a time like that, but couldn't, as each time I was reminded of how Gally would have laughed at my antics. This reminded me of someone else who would have laughed.

"Hey where's Chuck?" the realisation hit me like a brick, where was he? Who looked after him in my absence? Had something happened to him? I stood up, walking towards Newt, if he let anything happen to that boy I swear to God I will kill him.

"Relax, he's in that building over there, we thought it was best to leave him out of all of this. He's not been doing so well since you got captured. Yo-" Newt pointed out the window, at a small half-rundown building across from the one we were in.

I didn't stop to hear the rest of whatever he was going to say, I walked out the building and went straight up to the one that Chuck was apparently in. "Knock knock," I said, disguising my voice with a strange accent.

Sure enough, Chuck answered. "Who's there?" He sounded miserable. My poor, sweet, Chuck. I felt myself lighten up at the sound of his voice, basking in the familiarness of it. "Would you believe me if I said Y/n?" I had dropped the accent now.

I heard a thud, like somebody had fallen off something. I then heard the familiar sound of shoes on the ground, footsteps heading fast for the door. The door flung open, revealing that familiar face. "Y/n?" "Hey Chuck." I watched his eyes light up as they settled properly on my face, before I was pulled into what must have been the tightest hug of my life.

"Glad to see someone missed me." I ruffled his soft curls as he continued to hold me in his death grip, refusing to let go. "Okay- Chuck- Pal, you might need to let me up for some air, would be a shame to kill me when I only just got back."

The boy finally released me from his tight hold and took a step back, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, his hair bobbing up and down as he did so. "I'm a lot older and more mature than I was back in the glade now, you know."

He seemed to make some sort of attempt at standing up straighter, trying to make himself look taller I assumed. While this had no effect, I did notice he was slightly taller, I guess it has been six months. "So you are, Chucky."

"I'm stronger than I was back then too, after you were taken and we came here WCKD came looking for us once. They nea-" Chuck continued to ramble on, but I didn't hear most of what he said- I was too busy thinking about how he was going to manage.

Vince wants to take the kids to the safe haven once we get the boat fixed up, but I know Thomas won't leave until he has Minho. I for one, also won't leave till' we have him, but I knew Thomas would probably jump in without thinking. But I want to come up with a plan.

Here's the thing- I don't just want to save Minho, I want to take down WCKD. For good. To avenge Gally- to avenge all of them. Everyone anyone has ever lost because of WCKD. I'm going to take down Ava Paige- my own mother.
